Study Details: iPGCE 1 year part-time
The International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPGCE) is a distance-learning programme tailored to those looking to gain a recognised qualification from a UK university with a long and distinguished history in education and teacher development. Studying for the iPGCE is fully online and designed for students who are already undertaking teaching work in international settings, or who wish to do so in the future. Upon successful completion of the iPGCE, students will also have developed the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue further studies, such as an education-related MA.
The iPGCE is predominately aimed at in-service practitioners seeking professional development that would help further their career by complementing other teaching qualifications and advancing their understanding of educational issues pertinent to their own context. During the course, students will gain valuable insight to inform their own professional development, bring together theory and practice. Whilst the programme itself is not a form of teaching licence, nor does it lead to International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS)/Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), it is a fantastic way for practitioners to enhance their practice and career prospect.
Students must have an undergraduate degree (typically 2:2 minimum or equivalent). Any applicants who do not meet this requirement should be referred to the Programme Leader as relevant professional experience may be considered. Due to the distance learning nature of the course, all students must also have regular and reliable internet access.
Whilst prior teaching experience is not essential, by the time students commence the iPGCE, they must be working or volunteering in a role involving education, teaching or training. More specifically, this would mean a minimum of 10 hours per week (or equivalent) for the duration of the course. To meet this requirement, students will need to provide confirmation from their employer or volunteer setting that the required minimum hours can be achieved, and that all relevant clearance is in place as appropriate to the country concerned (UK students will need to provide their DBS number). In order to enrol, all applicants must therefore submit a completed version of the workplace agreement document provided by the Admissions team.
English language requirements: IELTS 6.5 with a minimum of 6 in each component.
Please include references and qualification documents with your application.
